Assad and Emeralds Bullpen Blank AZL Cubs at Riverview Park
RHSP Javier Assad and three relievers combined to toss a four-hit shutout, as the Eugene Emeralds blanked the AZL Cubs 5-0 in a seven-inning Extended Spring Training intrasquad game played Saturday morning on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.
Chris Pieters (on South Bend 7-day DL) served as a DH for both squads, and went a combined 2-4 with an RBI single, a stolen base, and a run scored.
In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP Alfredo Colorado has been moved-up from the Cubs Dominican Academy to the AZL Cubs, and he made his 2017 game debut in today's intrasquad game, tossing a shutout inning. Colorado attended AZ Instructs post-2016, but was not invited to Minor League Camp and is (obviously) a late-arrvial to Extended Spring Training.
